Szalai controversy
After the 8–1 defeat of the Hungary national side against the Netherlands, Szalai gave an interview about the reasons behind the long-term underachievement of the national side.[17] Szalai has not been called up to play for Hungary since.[18]
On 13 November 2013, Pintér reacted on Szalai's criticism and doubted Szalai's honesty. Pintér claimed that Szalai said in an interview before the 8–1 defeat that he does not have any problems with Hungary coach Sándor Egervári. Pintér criticised Szalai for being irresponsible for criticising the Hungarian coaches since Szalai does not know them.[19]
On 5 March 2014, Hungary played their first match, ended in a 2–1 defeat, against Finland in Győr's ETO Park in the year and Szalai was left out. In an interview with Nemzeti Sport, Szalai said that he cannot say anything about his future with the national team since he was not invited and he did not have the option to decide whether to join or not.[20]
On 28 August 2014, Pintér appointed the footballers of the Hungary national side against the upcoming UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Northern Ireland at the Groupama Arena on 7 September 2014. Szalai was left out from the team.[21]
On 4 September 2014, Szalai posted an announcement on his Facebook profile saying that he doesn't want to play for Hungary during the management of Pintér.[22] Szalai became the second Hungarian footballer in the past 20 years who resigned from the Hungary national side after the resignation of Szabolcs Huszti in 2007.[23]
